Justin Rose

Anyone’s opinion of Justin Rose change after this Masters?

One off the record for birdies in a final round of the Masters while in contention…

Will he ever win another major?   Where does he rank among those with one major?

Does anyone out there think Europe has a shot at the Ryder cup at Bethpage in September?

I feel bad for Rose in some ways. He seems like a decent person too. I’m sure the 3 putt from 3 feet on 16 Saturday will haunt him forever. But his resiliency on Sunday should boost him whenever he feels down.

As for the Euro team a the Ryder Cup, they always have a chance.

Justin Rose = Adam Scott to me. Their careers and achievements have been incredibly similar.

I've always respected Justin, as he's not been content to fade into obscurity or just make a few million a year hanging on to and playing off past achievements.

I think Rose is great. Much respect to his consistency, professionalism, work off-course and a never give-up attitude. But I have mixed feelings about his Masters campaign. Afterall, the dude came within a putt of ruining the perfect ending to probably the greatest unfinished story in golf. 😱

I didn't know until this past week that Rose holds the record for the most times having the lead after day one of The Masters. 

He must really love those Day 1 pin placements.

Always been a fan of Rose. He seems like a decent human being first of all. When there's some chatter at the tee he says "Quiet guys, please. Thank you" in a friendly tone. He's always given the impression of being a stand-up guy, supportive of his colleagues and competitors. A friendly face.

His performance as a golfer is more about consistency through his entire career than the large number of wins. He's always around, but had the potential to win more. This Masters they made a point out of him having almost twice as many lead/co-lead rounds without a win than the next guy on the list. 11 wins on the PGA Tour, 11 on the European Tour and the single major, but a lot of top ten finishes.

Erik's comparison to Adam Scott is on point, as the stats demonstrates in the images below. Starting their careers during the reign of Tiger didn't make things easier, but there are few players with more than 15 wins on the PGAT the last ~30 years. I only counted eight from this list.

I'd love to see him win at Augusta. Rory is one of very few players I'd pick over Rose.

He's been a top 100 golfer for almost his entire career, yeah. That's not easy to do, especially as you get into your 40s.

And, all without any real "superpowers." He's not incredibly great at any one thing. He's very well rounded.

I think Rose might have the most zeroed out putting stroke of anyone out there, although as golfing superpowers go that would be one of the most useless.

I like Justin Rose and I wouldn’t mind seeing him win another major, I just didn’t want him to win this one 😃
